single measles jab...indian or french manufacturer?

we are london based and looking for a clinic that does the single measles jab? there seems to be 2 different strains, one from india and 1 from france. i believe the 1 from india is not cultivated in eggs and hence children that are allergic to eggs can have it. most of the clinics we have looked at, state that they are Quality Care Commissioned but when we go on the QCC website there don't seem to be there, which makes us a bit nervous about there practice. pls. share your experiences. thanks.

Have just checked actually and it seems that Sanofi Pasteur is the largest company in the world dedicated to vaccines. The Sanofi Group of which Sanofi Pasteur is a part is a French multinational and the world's fourth largest supplier of pharmaceuticals.

The OP specifically mentioned India and was considering the single measles vaccine, right? I cannot grasp the willingness to go for a dodgy, expensive product over the MMR. Children allergic to egg can have the MMR (potentially under supervision).

As for the "dodgy" - the couple of web sites I looked at didn't even give the brand name of what they are using while happily charging private fees for it. That, in my book, is dodgy.

The Indian company is SII - it manufacturers an egg-free measles vaccine alongside many other pharmaceutical products. I'm not sure why you are automatically classifying them as 'dodgy' unless you're racist?

FYI the SII vaccine is called M-Vac and the Sanofi Pasteur vaccine is called Rouvax. Many private clinics in the UK will offer both. Would you like to clarify why a vaccine that has been in use for decades, manufactured by the same company that manufactures other vaccines used on the NHS schedule and is still used in France is 'dodgy'?
